Steady On Point Professional Dog Training

Professional Bird Dog Training

Training Method

We start by flushing birds out of remote launchers every time a young dog walks
in rather than pointing. Pretty soon the young dog decides he should try to sneak
up on the bird. That is their natural Point instinct coming out.

Next we teach them to hold their point while we flush the birds for them. This is
done with very little voice conversation and more hand movements and que from electronic
collars. This method evens works to encourage Labs to Point. Watch the video of
Alan working a "Pointing Lab" on the right.

You end up with a dog like this 6 month old Brittany that points with style, intensity,
tail up and steady to at least flush of the bird. This method also allows us to
train the dog to be steady to shot and fall if desired by the owner. The right training
can encourage a young Brittany to make water retrieves.

From The Trainer

In my opinion the biggest mistake most dog trainers make is attempting to use the
same method of training on all breeds and types of dogs. Dogs, like people, have
distinct personalities and temperaments that make them unique to each other.

I work with each owner to develop a custom training program to insure their dog
is trained to the exact level they expect.

If you try to force a timid dog to respond to a command most often they will shut
down and stop trying to learn. Too often this dog is labeled as untrainable and
sent home. When in reality the dog probably had the drive and desire to make a great
hunting companion if someone took the time to train them based on their personality.

Training companion hunting dogs is not "One size fits all". That is why I am committed
to providing:

Custom training program developed specifically for the owners needs and the dogs
abilities.

Proving 24 hour access to the owner while their dog is being training to insure
complete confidence.

Bi-weekly updates on the progress with email, voice contact and pictures/videos.

Veterinarian service on call 24 hours per day.

E-mail references on the website to current and former owners.

Personal service pet owners deserve.

Limited amount of dogs trained per month to insure they get the time and attention
they deserve.

Personally train every dog myself.

Training Overview

We use the latest methods of dog psychology in training all dogs. Training programs
are made custom to your dog. Young dogs learn to "manage" birds by bringing out
their natural instincts. We specialize in bringing out their drive and desire. "Putting
a steering wheel on them."

Soft Hands and a Gentle Voice are the keys to developing a confident hunting companion.
We continue to learn the latest methods in training all breeds of pointing dogs
as well as Obedience Training. We train all breeds of Pointing dogs.
